It's time to fire up the grill (if you haven't already) - and get your souvlaki on!

Souvlaki (say: soov-LAH-kee) - skewered kebabs - is one of those foods that have become synonymous with Greece, as popular with Greeks as they are with non-Greeks. Souvlaki is a favorite street food on the skewer or in pita wraps, and a family favorite at home, cooked on the grill. A quick marinade of herbs, spices, oil, and wine (or vinegar) is all that's needed.

Of all the versions of souvlaki, pork is the most frequently used meat in my little village. This is an easy recipe to make, and even easier to eat. Make the skewers with small pieces of meat to recreate a classic Greek street food, or make them large for a meal.

Favorite taste combinations: When fixing this recipe for Pork Souvlaki at home, I always figure on at least 3/4 of a pound of meat per person because these are such favorites. But that's a lot of meat - so side dishes are kept pretty minimal. We enjoy these with fried potatoes, a classic Greek salad, some great crusty country bread, and tzatziki.

Thick-cut pork chops are oven-roasted with potatoes and a sprinkling of chopped tomatoes, bell pepper, and garlic. This is an easy family meal to prepare and delicious to eat.

Make it a meal with Maroulosalata (Romaine Salad), a slice of feta, and some crusty country bread.
